Financial Matters

Applying for health insurance or filing health insurance claims can be a full-time job and extremely overwhelming to a person undergoing cancer treatment. There are many excellent guides and tools available to help patients and their families in working through these challenges and determining which resources are available to them.

Patients can call on volunteers for support to assist them in managing the maze of health insurance claims, keeping organized records and filing appeals if needed. Many people will come forward when a person is diagnosed and ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?" There are many tedious yet important tasks in keeping health insurance claims in order. Passing them off to a trusted relative or friend can reduce an enormous burden for a patient.

Information and resources regarding insurance, managed care and employment issues are provided in Insurance and Employment.
